1. Comment: Undercounting Latino Vote - Latino Decisionshttp://latinodecisions.wordpress.com/2010/11/04/how-the-national-exit-poll-badly-missed-the-latino-vote-in-2010/points out that most polls, including exit polls, in the recentelection systematically undercounted Latino support forDemocrats. This discrepancy showed up most dramatically instates with a high percentage of Latino voters, the Nevada Senaterace being the prime example (where Sen. Reid who had been theunderdog in almost all polls pulled off a convincing victory overthe Republican candidate in large part due to the undercountedLatino vote). Latino Decisions attributes the undercounting ofLatino votes to the low incidence of bilingual interviewing whichresulted in the over-representation of higher income and highereducation Latinos. As the percentage of Latino voters in theelectorate keeps rising year by year, these variances betweenpolls and actual votes are likely to be magnified. Futurepollsters may have to either (a) start polling in Spanish alsoand/or (b) introduce a "weighting" mechanism to account for thissystemic error. Psephology, the science of polling, is yetanother field affected as America's immigration story continuesto unfold.
